Hirsch, The Bully Project is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven

documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose

stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis.

The Bully Project follows five kids and families over the course of a school

year.

Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother

awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated

after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes,

classrooms, cafeterias and principals’ offices, the film offers insight into

the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children.

As teachers, administrators, kids and parents struggle to find answers, The

Bully Project examines the dire consequences of bullying through the testimony of strong and courageous youth. Through the power of their stories, the film aims to be a catalyst for change in the way we deal with bullying as parents, teachers, children and society as a whole.
